singing makes the pee come out

this is what we think of the celtics:

tee hee! mind you, i've gotta hand it to 'em for last night's game - it sure ain't fun to lose a big game when you're playing in front of your hometown crowd. doesn't mean i'm not stoked about the laker win, though - and GO D-FISH!

the bean has been doing really well with the potty training. we still have a few oopsies here and there, but she's getting the hang of it. she likes to have me hang out in there with her while she makes herself comfy on the pot, and often she serenades me with her repertoire of musical ditties. like this:

there's also her educational series:

sometimes, she's just silly.

and a classic.

every day is someone's birthday to her.

i just like how she says "little lamb."

this concludes our video presentations for the day. heh.on another note, i'm super duper excited that we've decided to embark on a fun road trip for our big summer vacay! for obvious reasons, we skipped travel for the most part of last year, and this year we're making up for it with a two-week long east coast extravaganza. we're flying into boston, heading up to maine and rhode island (because we'll be there, and we can), and then making our way down the coast, eventually flying home from fort lauderdale. we'll stop in NYC, D.C., philly, hilton head, disney world, and whatever happens to strike our fancy along the way. we're not going to book hotels ahead of time (aside from the first night, when we land close to midnight EST), we're going to be all spontaneous and stuff and just wing it. if we find a place we like, we'll stay there.if you don't love road trips, this probably sounds pretty damn miserable to you. but we've been talking about doing something like this for YEARS. i'm giddy at the fact that we're finally going to do it! got any suggestions for fun stuff to do/places to visit/yummy grub? i'd love to hear 'em.

Im jealousE of your trip. In DC be sure and go the zoo (early in the am so the animals are out) and Arlington. Take the bean to the Air & Space Museum and get some astronaugt ice cream...we loved that as kids! If you want to try blue crab while you are there...go to the Dancing Crab in Tenley town (there is a metro stop and you can just walk down the hill). Total dive but the food rocks! I worked there in college:) Oh I could go on, I love DC! The aquarium in Baltimore is great and if you like baseball go to an O's game while you are up there...the stadium is really cool!

you must go to geno's (www.genosteaks.com) and pat's (www.patskingofsteaks.com) while in philly. they are right across the street from each other. and if you like history, independence hall and eastern state penitentiary (www.easternstate.org) should be on the to-do list.
